Tourists emierants and mariners find that
iiostetter's Stomach Biiters is a medicinal
safeguard against unhealthful influences, up
on which they can implicitlv RELY, since il
prevents the effects of vitiated atmosphere,
unaccustomed or unwholesome diet, bad
water or other conditions unfavorable to
health. On long voyages, or journeys in
ATTITUDES adjacent to the equator, it is espec-
tally useful as preventive of the female
complaints and disorders of the stomach,
liver and bowels, which are apt to attack
natives of the temperate zone sojourning or
travelling in such regions, and it is an excel
lent protection against the influence of ex-
IRENE cold, sudden changes of temprature,
exposure to damp or extreme fatigue. 1t
not only prevents inter mttent and other dis
eases of II malarial type, but eradicates them
a fact which has. been notorious for years
past in North and South America, Mexico,
the West Indies, Australia and other coun-
tries.

the safest and best remedy ever discovered

the usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does not dry up Cough and leave the

a Crazy Chinaman ON IA Train

There was an exciting time on a train
of the Denver Il Rio Grande Railroad
the other day. A Chinaman named Lee
Shung locked himself in closet thirty
miles east of Grand Junction, Col, and
refused TO come out. When the crew
changed at Grand Junction The retiring
conductor notified the incoming con-
ductor, John Corlisk, of the Chinaman's
presence. Thirty miles west Of Grand
Junction Brakeman Canning got on
box and broke in the transum to get the
Chinaman out. Suddenly the door
opened and Lee Shung sprang out with
knife in his hands and made lunge
at the brakeman, narrowly missing rip
ping him up. Canning ran TO the next
ear. Shung then ran amuck. terrOrizing
the thirty passengers in The car, and
made pass with his knife ut Il woman
but missed. Then he struck at George
Heckbridge, laying open his stomach
and inflicting fatal wound. BY this
time all in the car were wild with ter
ror. Canning came In with drawn re-
volver and shot the Chinaman three
times, killing him almost Instantly. The
Chinaman is supposed TO have been

Alexander Ranger, a freight brake
mau on the Norfolk 4 Western Rail-
road, met with singular and fatal ac-
cident one night last week. Near
Nor tgomery there is bridge built over
the road, and about fifty feet below it is
"warner'-a post placed in the ground
with beam at the top, forming right
angle, which extends over the track.
From this angle short ropes are sus
pended, knotteG ut the ends. These
ropes touch the head of the brakemen
who are on top Of the cars. warning
them of the bridge ahead. In some way
a number of these ropes became tangled
and us the car upon which Ranger was
standing passed under, he was caught
under the chin and held fast, the ropes
forming sort OF loop. He was on one
of the forward cars, and the entire train
passed under him. Both of his legs
were broken in number Of places.
The left one caught on one OF the cars
aud was nearly torn from the body.
The conductor Of the train, who was on
the caboose, saw Ranger as his car
passed, and had the train stopped as soon
rs possible. When he was taken down,
he was breathing family, but died soon
after.

A Dreadful Fate.

A melancholy discovery is reported
from Maine. Some tourists hunting in
forest in that State were Mortified to
come upon a dead man whose flesh was
almost entirely stripped from his bones,
the skeleton fingers held firmly in the
jaws of great bear trap. Various
articles found near the body lead to the
belief that the body is thar of French
mar who used to reside near Moosehead
Lake, but who suddenly disappeared.
He had evidently been trying to force
his way through the underground
when his hands had been caught in the
trap, and, being unable to remove them,
and no assistance being near, he had
died from starvation.

For many years past 1t has been the
custom of some people who reside in
the distant country districts to have
themselves summoned before the United
States grand jury in order to have a trip
and have expenses paid. Many Of this
class would testify and have some
neighbor indicted and then turn as
witnesses on the trial. But here is
every likelihood of this being rpped,
as the government officials have tdught
on, and at Charleston last week Judge
Jackson imprisoned Sam Mitchell and
Sheridan Williams, residents of Call
houn county, for contempt of court, on
the charge Of making false representa-
tons 10 officers of the court in order
that they might be summoned before
the grand jury. 1t is said there are
about thirty others who will get the
